So I have been out for a while, I'm working on a couple of fun little projects. The first is what I have dubbed as McWormy. A double cut body out of wormy ash. I'll be filling the holes with tinted/glow epoxy for what will hopefully be a pretty cool effect. The other is an onboard tube screamer effe...

I have a Thien baffle setup on a 50 gallon drum and it works very well. I just run that with a shop vac to pull dust/chips off of my cnc and it does an excellent job both of keeping the part clean and keeping all but the finest dust out of the shop vac.

Well, darn, guess I'm going to have to stop using photobucket.

do a search on amazon for "3d pen filament abs"

I did tape on the inside and outside. It was the seam tape with holes in it so that the glue gets in there. That worked well. I followed the fitting method of that fellow on ebay who was putting an ebony veneer onto an arch top piece of spruce I believe.

You can pick up some sweet stuff on ebay too. I got the veneer for this on ebay for about $25.

I have done laminated necks but as a rule I don't have a glue joint in line with the truss rod. My feeling is that the glue joint is weaker than unmolested wood and since the neck is so thin there I want as much strength as possible. So I look at many other guitars by great builders and many have d...

Very nice Dan! That is a sweet piece of veneer. I got a roller, glue, breather mesh, and SS2 from Joe as well Scored a free vacuum pump from work (they were tearing apart the QC lab and they used it for testing high altitude stuff) and made a bag from polyethylene scraps from our films division. Jus...

Same issue as you have, just can't redo the shop and work on projects at the same time. :o Not only that, but you still have work to do that involves tools, and I can't find ANYTHING. I was looking for something the other day and literally opened every cabinet and every drawer trying to find it ( a...

you could build a CNC router setup for that sort of price. It would be one of the wooden versions but those are very usable as well.

very nice.....

I shouldn't talk too much. I've got my M.S. in mechanical engineering so I'm a geek by trade.

get a matching pocket protector?

get a matching pocket protector? :p

You can vacuum press a veneer onto a carved top. The centerline of the veneer cannot be left straight though. There's a good demo of it being done on youtube. I followed that and did the veneer on this one: http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad119/machgt/guitar/IMG_20150801_141348_zpsfmd5jbv2.jpg ht...

I don't think I'd worry as much about getting a totally authentic bridge. You could just get a bridge that matches the thread and spacing on the OEM bridge

you would get a hit sooner than you do. Actually, I never did see it.

Probably not the most helpful thread title.....

I'm curious on this one too. I've got a potential commissioned guitar build hopefully coming up

What glue was used originally?

Oh for a high speed video camera....
